Report comment

Exactly, David.

In practice and later I was always told win/find on the facts.

No defendant today would fight DvS on agreed facts.

Issues raised by defendant.

Not probable a snail could get into the bottling plant/bottle

Snail was edible and not harmful

Remains if decomposed could not result from immersion in ginger beer

Claimants symptoms inconsistent with decomposed snail ingestion

Therefore fraud

Etc.

Claimant would have to prove a positive case.

Documents, Twitter, mobile phone logs, experts in bottling, snails, gastroenterology, and more and more. 10 day trial.
